Android for non-Programmers, as well as Programmers...

It is all about Android this Monday, Feb 21 @ 6:15pm. We will kick off with an introduction by Ann Marie Manzitti to Killer Android, the local Android development group.

And then Brad McManus from local start-up Real Time Farms will introduce some advance concepts for Android developers to give everyone a broad understanding of what Android is all about.
